Therefore, his words could be trusted.
Then…
What was Winter after?
This probably had nothing to do with the current Lin Chen.
Otherwise, Winter would not have been so eager to work with Lin Chen.
He even took the initiative to help Lin Chen do many things.
Soon, it was time for Lin Chen to leave Sky Moon City.
Before leaving, Lin Chen also told Zhang Chunlin and the others about the hostage. In the end, everyone reached a unanimous opinion that in the future, when the royal family’s hostage entered Sky Moon City, they would arrange for people to watch over and protect them.
At the same time, they would show the hostage more about the special aspects of the Easterners on the Blue Planet.
Lin Chen set off for the Imperial Capital.
Along the way, Gold Mu acted as his guard.
He was once the deputy general of the Gold family army.
His strength was also at the peak of First Rank.
In addition, Gold Mu had another identity…
Gold Spear’s nephew.
Gold Spear had no sons.
He had no children.
Therefore, in reality, Gold Mu was equivalent to his future successor.
Along the way, Gold Mu was definitely not interested in Lin Chen, who had severely injured his uncle, so the two of them did not interact much.
It was only when they arrived at Fallen Leaves City that Lin Chen spoke to Gold Mu.
“Let’s go to your uncle’s place.”
Lin Chen also said, “We don’t have to hide it from anyone. Just go directly…
Gold Mu, you want to go back and see him too, right?”
Gold Mu nodded silently in response.
The moment Gold Mu turned around, it could be seen that his expression was still a little moved…
The current Gold family was no longer the same as before.
In the past, the Gold family was so glorious, but now it was equally downfallen.
Gold Mu did not even dare to think about being able to see Gold Spear again before he went to the empire’s battlefield…
Unexpectedly, this opportunity was given by Lin Chen.
The carriage turned around and headed towards the Gold family.
As for the Heaven Heart Tea, Lin Chen was not in a hurry to taste it.
Fallen Leaves City was very big.
However, the tree in the middle was even bigger.
Walking on the streets among the fallen leaves, it seemed that no matter where he was, he would be able to see that tree when he looked up.
This tree should be very old!
Lin Chen deliberately swaggered to the Gold family openly to express his attitude…
There was no personal grudge between him and the Gold family or Gold Spear.
This would make Lin Chen look very benevolent.
Moreover, Lin Chen and Gold Spear did not have any personal grudges.
The two of them had schemed only for their own personal benefits.
However, when Lin Chen brought Gold Mu and the others to the Gold family, he realized that the huge mansion was already deserted. He did not even see any servants, and there were traces of a battle.
“Uncle!”
Gold Mu’s expression changed drastically.
He led his men and hurriedly rushed into the Gold family.
In the end, the group passed through several traces of battle and even some houses with destroyed roofs and arrived in front of an ancestral hall.
“Gold Tiger!”
Gold Mu shouted.
In the ancestral hall, an abnormally strong young man was kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet. Gold Mu rushed in and asked, “Who did it? Where’s Uncle? Gold Tiger!”
“It’s the Black Iron Guards…”
The man named Gold Tiger clenched his fists tightly. When he turned around, his face was covered in tears. He said, “The Black Iron Guards were here. They… they crippled Uncle and said that they wanted to take him away for questioning! In addition, all the assets of the Gold family have been taken away. Uncle didn’t let me resist. They just left!”
“Black Iron Guards.”
When Gold Mu heard this, he slumped to the ground.
The Black Iron Guards!
This was an organization controlled by the Dragon Spirit Kingdom’s parliament.
They claimed to be the defenders of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom’s system.
In fact, they were just some dogs controlled by the parliament!
However, the Black Iron Guards had the authority of the parliament, and their power was not small.
“It’s useless to cry at this time.”
Lin Chen’s voice sounded. He walked into the Gold family’s ancestral hall and looked at the retainer tablet on it. Lin Chen slowly lit an incense stick and said, “Gold Mu, as the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Protector Army’s central army, 1 order you to intercept the Black Iron Guards… Just say that 1 want to see your uncle.”
“City… City Lord Lin…” Gold Mu looked over in surprise.
Clearly, Lin Chen’s actions at this time were beneficial to the Gold family.
But…
Why did Lin Chen do this?
Gold Mu was puzzled.
However, he knew that… this might be his last chance to see his uncle.
Without any hesitation, Gold Mu immediately chased after the Black Iron Guards with the army’s guards.
At this moment, Gold Tiger stood up and said, “I’ll go too!”
“No.”
Lin Chen stopped him and said, “If I were you, I would put away all the tablets first… The Gold family no longer has a chance to turn things around.”
Previously, Lin Chen was actually a little puzzled…
This time, the final solution to the conflict between him and the nobles was for Sky Moon City to take the initiative to trade, sign a contract, and pay tribute to the royal family. The royal family would give Sky Moon City a hostage to ensure Sky Moon City’s safety.
Then, Lin Chen joined the Dragon Protector Army and went to the empire’s battlefield.
It seemed that both sides were taking what they needed and had achieved relatively satisfactory results.
But…
As a party to the conflict, what about the nobles and the parliament that represented the interests of the nobles?
What benefits had they obtained?
Now, Lin Chen finally understood.
The Gold family!
It seemed that the king had reached some kind of compromise with the parliament.
In the end, the Gold family was uprooted because of this compromise!
First of all, Gold Spear would be pushed out and bear all the consequences.
Then, all the resources of the Gold family would be used to compensate the parliament…
Under such circumstances, even the survival of the Gold family became a problem.
The Protector Duke took action and took away the Gold family army.
The king had deprived the Gold family of their honor.
In the end, the parliament took action and took away everything from the Gold family!
With the three parties working together, did the Gold family still have a way out?
Gold Spear definitely had no way out.
After all, he had failed in the Sea Conqueror Province.
However, Gold Mu and Gold Tiger, the two brothers from the Gold family, did not have to die.
Therefore, Lin Chen would save them!
It was not that Lin Chen was benevolent.
It was because of Lin Chen’s current situation that he had to save them!
Because…
Lin Chen needed to control the Gold family army!
